Hi

I am using LWP::Simple to display an html page (actually asp) - this works fine in IE but on Netscape it just displays the source code!

this is the redirect code:

use LWP::Simple;

my $content = get("http://www.photographersdirect.com/sellers/pe_selle
+rredirect.asp?$ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}");

<code>
if (defined $content)
{
    #$content will contain the html associated with the url mentioned 
+above.
    print $content;
}

[download]

and it displays code like this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/T
+R/html4/strict.dtd">

<html>
<head>
<title>PHOTOGRAPHERS DIRECT - Fair Trade Photography</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
+">
<style type="text/css">
</head>

<body>
content
</body>
</html>

[download]

anyone know how to make it display the html properly rather than the source code?
